Chapter 168 Zheng Lianchang's demise is imminent!
"So, now I will first tell you to help you and your excellency." After a pause, Fu Kang said gently, "Peng Fei, you are good at water warfare. You are a rare general in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I am the governor to promote you. I hope you can do your best for Sihai Jingping."
"The commander-in-chief, don't worry, the commander-in-chief knows the kindness of the encounter, and the subordinates feel that he should wear the liver for the court and vowed to die." Liang Pengfei immediately pointed to the sky and the earth, spitting stars to express his loyalty to the court. He couldn't help sweating in his heart. Fortunately, it was easy for him to stay in Liangguang. If he went to other areas with Fu Kang'an, it would be a little difficult to do his foundation in Nanyang. After all, Liang Peng did a lot of things. Flying requires a personal decision.
In fact, he is proficient in water warfare. In these several battles, there has never been a battle with his opponent on the sea. The first time he fought the guard of Crab King Island. With the location, he played the ground to the sea, and then attacked Luzon, relying on a heavy artillery giant ship. In addition, the other party has lost the cover of the fleet. It is simply a beam. The family's fleet is abusing the other party. As for the Guangzhou magistrate smuggling case, Liang Pengfei's big foot didn't even climb up the shipboard, relying on seducing the enemy to go deep.
As for the attack on the nest of the Zheng family, it still has little to do with the water war. It can be said that Liang Pengfei should belong to the land elite of the navy, or use the classification of later arms to classify him to the marines, which has a little to do with the water.
However, in the eyes of Fu Kang'an and a group of two Guang officials, he only felt that this guy was proficient in water warfare and ignored his specialty. However, this is also good, so that you don't have to be taken to Tibet by Fukang Allah. At that time, in case of a plateau reaction, you don't know how you died.
At the end of the banquet, He Shen resigned on the pretext of being tired on the journey and went to the guest room to rest. Liang Pengfei, Guangdong Marine Admiral Zhao Chengn, Master Zeng, and the governor Wang Shouli stayed after the officials left and went to the study with Fu Kang'an.
In the quiet study, except for a few of them, even the maids and soldiers who brought tea and water all withdrew from the outside of the study, leaving only a few of them in the house. Liang Pengfei knew that Fu Kang'an must have something to be done.
Fu Kang'an cleared his throat and began to tell one by one. Zhao Chenglun is now a first-class member of the court, the admiral of Guangdong Marine Division, but in front of Fu Kang'an, he still seemed very humble and cautious. With Fu Kang'an's instructions, he responded one by one.
And Wang Shouli was also left behind by Fu Kang'an and became the new general of Humen Town of the Guangdong Marine Division. From a general, he suddenly jumped to the position of general, which made Wang Shouli a little overjoyed. However, he still suppressed the joy in his heart and expressed to Fu Kang'an that he was willing to be in front of Fu's saddle. Do your life.
"You have been following the governor all these years, and you have done a good job. Now Cheng Lin is already the admiral of Guangdong Marine Division, and he must be accompanied by someone to help him. Originally, the governor promoted Huang Biao, but he had such thoughts, but he was annoyed that Sun Quanmou was really... Therefore, it was really necessary to leave you and Liang Pengfei to assist Zhao Chengrin. Fu Kang'an is calm.
Hearing this, Zhao Chengling simply cried bitterly and said that he dared not live up to the trust of General Fu. Anyway, the nonsense was like being free. Fu Kang'an nodded with satisfaction. After saying some words to comfort Zhao Chengn, he turned around and told Liang Pengfei. You are now a general in Humen Town, Guangdong, to assist Wang Shouli. However, you have now been promoted to a general, and it is not reasonable to command the new camp alone. Nantou Village is an important stronghold for monitoring the Haikou such as Aberdeen and Lantau Island. Before the governor came to Liangguang to serve, the strength of the Guangdong navy... Humph, not to mention it, now there are consecutive victories. When the emperor is overjoyed, he has ordered to increase To make up for the loss of the Guangdong sailors, so the governor has decided to set up a camp in the Nantou village to eliminate floods, that is to say, the second battalions in Xin'an and Nantou are under your command to watch the South China Sea for the Guangdong sailors and monitor those thieves.
"The commander-in-chief, don't worry, the subordinate officer must guard the southern gate of Guangdong for the navy and the court, and he will not live up to the painstaking work and support of the commander-in-chief." Liang Pengfei replied proudly.
Fu Kang'an nodded with satisfaction: "One more thing, although He Shen is a little greedy, he is indeed a person and is deeply trusted by the emperor. And Pengfei, you are good at checking your face and know how to do things, so I will let you assist Lord He Shenhe. If you do this well, you will also benefit a lot. Do you understand?"
After some instructions, Fu Kang'an let their confidants who would stay in Guangzhou leave the governor's office. With the evidence of guilt provided by Fu Kang'an and Liang Pengfei's assistance, He Shen's handling of the Guangzhou magistrate's smuggling case can be said to be smooth sailing, but the truth has been revealed.
In the dungeon of the governor's mansion, Erdenbu's fate was doomed. After the confession, He Shen took out a bottle of poison wine brought from the palace and told the former emperor's cronies that if he wanted his family to be safe, he had to find a way to take care of the emperor's face, and then left the dungeon.
The next day, Fu Kang'an left Guangzhou and went straight to Qinghai after being sent by a group of civil and military officials from Guangdong. A day later, Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, who was acting as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, issued an official document to the court about the death of Guangdong Customs Supervision Erdengbu. And He Shen, the Lord Shangshu, will naturally leave Liangguang after dealing with the affairs.
--------------------
"These days, the subordinates have indeed learned a lot of experience by working under the adults. The adults act at the right time, which is really comparable to people. The literary talent is remarkable. No wonder the emperor will appoint the emperor as the president of the four libraries. It's really wise." Liang Pengfei and Na He Shen sat in the elegant room of the restaurant, where only Liang Pengfei and He Shen were seated.
The bodyguards and others under He Shen have naturally been arranged by Liang Pengfei to drink and have fun in other elegant rooms. He Shen's affairs in Liangguang have been completed, and he will leave Guangzhou in one or two days. Naturally, Liang Pengfei will not let go of any opportunity to get close to the first corrupt official of the Qianlong Dynasty.
Since these days, under the goodwill of Liang Pengfei, who is good at checking his face, He Shen has also been very gratified that he can have such a person who is not only talented, but also knows how to meet the assistant of the horse. For example, during the inspection of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, there are many times, and there is no need to reach out to He Shen himself. Liang Pengfei will Stand in front for him.
This made He Shen very satisfied. He even felt that Fu Kang'an did look at people. He could arrange such a person to assist him, which really saved him a lot of time and effort.
"You don't have to be too modest, hehe, you have done a good job." He Shen smiled and picked up Liang Pengfei's full wine and took a sip.
"It's a pity that the adult is going back to Beijing, and the subordinate can't continue to learn from the adult. It's really a pity in his life." Liang Pengfei was full of regret. After drinking the wine in the glass, he whispered to the door: "Come on."
Bai Shusheng, dressed as a soldier, appeared at the door of the room, holding a box in his hand and respectfully handed it to Liang Pengfei's hand. After Liang Pengfei took it, he put it in front of He Shen with a sincere face: "It's really not easy for adults to come to the south. These subordinates, listen to the teachings of the adults and benefit them. There are many, but I have never been able to repay. In two days, the adult will return to Beijing. I have thought about it, but I don't know how to repay. Therefore, I specially prepared some small Cheng Yi. I hope the adults will accept it, and the subordinates can also feel a little at ease.
The sandalwood box was slowly opened by He Shen's hand. In it were silver tickets worth 10,000 taels. The whole wooden box was almost filled with this thin paper. Rao Shi He Shen, the most corrupt official in the world, couldn't help but be stunned by Liang Pengfei's big handwriting.
The value of the silver ticket here is at least no less than 700,000 or 800,000 taels. Although he and Shen are numb to accept bribes, they have never seen anyone who hit nearly a million taels of silver at once.
But who is He Shen? The figure who claims to be the first corrupt official since ancient times, even if it is the things in the palace that he like, he will try his best to get it. What kind of money does such a person dare not collect?
He Shen's hand covered the sandalwood box again, and his fingers beat it rhythmically. He turned his face and looked at Liang Pengfei. He smiled meaningfully, but did not open his mouth, as if waiting for Liang Pengfei to speak.
Liang Pengfei also lived up to his expectations. The subordinate is a martial artist, and what he said may not be heard. I hope the general public will forgive me. The subordinate wants to meet adults, not for anything else. He just wants to say that he can have a backer to speak for the subordinate in the court, so that the position of the subordinate can also sit more stable. After all, it is the lifelong wish of the subordinate to be promoted and rich. I hope you don't give up." Liang Pengfei bowed deeply to He Shen, without any embarrassment expression.
This sentence is extremely straightforward, but it does say what Liang Pengfei thinks in his heart, and this also represents the thoughts of those officials who send money to He Shen. However, no one is as naked as Liang Pengfei.
He Shen still looked at Liang Pengfei with a meaningful smile on his face, and his fingers were still tapping gently on the wooden box. Liang Pengfei lowered his eyebrows calmly and looked obedient.
"Hehehe... I know how to be a man and do things. No wonder I can get the trust of General Fu in just more than half a year. From a small camp guard, I jumped to a third-level member of the court. Well, in this case, if you don't accept it with someone, it will not give you face, and you don't act in line with someone. These Cheng Yi and someone will accept it, and there will be a reward later. Well, if something happens, you can send someone to..." He Shen lowered his voice. After a whisper in Liang Pengfei's ear, Liang Pengfei understood it. Next, the two of them naturally ate and drank at ease, and the guests were happy.
Liang Pengfei, who was satisfied, returned to the house, took the sobering tea from Bai Shusheng and poured a large glass of wine. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief. Did my father and the others have a rest? Is there nothing to do at home today? This question is about Sun Shijie, who is waiting for him in the hall. "Mr. and Mrs. Liang have rested. There is nothing to do at home, but Miss Shi from the south has sent you a letter." Sun Shijie respectfully handed a letter to Liang Pengfei's hand and sat beside Liang Pengfei by the way.
"The letter she sent me?" Liang Pengfei pulled out the letter paper with doubt and understood what was going on. His thick eyebrows couldn't help locking, because the news on the letter was really not good news. In the letter, Shi Xianggu told Liang Pengfei that the whereabouts of the Zheng family had been found out. After Zheng Lianchang found that his nest had been pounded and the treasure had been searched, he did not stay more on Lantau Island. He just searched for some reserve of grain and ammunition supplies. On the third day, he left Lantau Island and went straight to the west. Go.
Recently, it was known that Zheng Lianchang was under the command of Ruan Fuying, a descendant of the Guangnan Ruan Wang clan, who fought with Ruan Wenhui in the Xishan Dynasty. He was awarded the title of General Jinghai by Ruan Fuying and continued to command his old troops to fight against the Xishan Dynasty.
"I didn't expect that this guy was really decisive. The strong man broke his wrist, and it was just like that." After hearing the news from Liang Pengfei in the letter, Sun Shijie couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Yes, Zheng Lianchang is really a hero." Liang Pengfei nodded and stood up. Shi Xianggu had other news in the letter. The Green Flag Gang had already used the excuse of guarding his allies and sent troops to Lantau Island in advance. However, his behavior aroused the disgust of more people. However, now everyone does not know whether the Zheng family really entrusted Xu Sanyan. Although the Red Flag Gang has left now, its strength is still there. If others intend to get involved, who knows what will happen at that time, so those pirates are still in a wait-and-see situation.
"Your Excellency, this Lantau Island is located at the mouth of the Pearl River. It is the key place of the throat. It can be attacked, retreated and defended. It is by this that the Zheng family can stand on the Liangguang Water Islands for more than a hundred years. Even if you don't enter and take it, you should use your own strength to stand on it. Sun Shijie cleared his throat and said to Liang Pengfei. To be honest, he doesn't think Liang Pengfei will be worried about such a large piece of fat.
Liang Pengfei shook his head: "I want to, too, but now is not the right time. Lantau Island is indeed dangerous, but it is deep in the sphere of influence of the family, and it is most likely to be attacked by the enemy. After all, Zheng Lianchang is a pirate of the family. The area of Hong Kong is full of the power of the pirates. If my old Liang family intervenes, I'm afraid that the family will attack in groups, but they will not lose it. Another point is that if I persuade Fu Kang'an to settle on Lantau Island, it will also annoy those pirates. Therefore, what I should see now is to look on the sidelines, not to do it in a hurry.
"What the adult said is that Sun is not considerate. However, if the Green Flag Gang is allowed to occupy this place, he will become the trouble of the adult guarding Xin'an and Nantou."
"It doesn't matter. Although Xu Sanyan of the Green Flag Gang also has the ability, he is too short-sighted in this move. No, he will become the target of the crowd. At that time, I will secretly help again. This Lantau Island will definitely fall into the hands of the Shi family. At that time, with What's the difference in my hand? There was a strange annihire smile on Liang Pengfei's face. As for Zheng Lianchang, he actually thought of going to Ruan Fuying. It can only be said that his good luck has come to an end, and the Zheng family is about to die!"
Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Sun Shijie couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Why did your excellency say this?"
